Arata bine. Dar habar n-aveam ca a existat asa ceva. Si a mai si aparut in pragul ADOR-ului. Miroase a ghost. Asta e o chestie clasica la McCann. Sau sa zic la Botan? Oricum, cel mai important lucru pe care nu-l stiam e ca s-a mai facut. Trebuia sa ma astept, totusi. Si cica s-a facut chiar anu asta. Si a luat un Cannes. Sa ne traiasca Ads Of The World! Nu e cel mai tare site de publicitate doar din cauza arhivei atat de complexe sau a ideii atat de geniale, ci si datorita pasionatilor si comentatorilor. Astfel, in cele ce urmeaza, voi reproduce comentariile la acest ghost-furaciune:

and how did you find these professional pickpockets? by posting an ad: professional pickpockets wanted? come on!

Third campaign I see with proffesional pickpockets after Burger King (in Spain) and Talk Talk (UK). It starts to get boring…

Rational is fine, execution is great, but (there’s always a „but”) you never know how people would react against the brand for being such intrusive… would love to see the post-campaign results

IT’s that easy to get into your pocket. good work, copywriter.

At least get 3 different people. The last two photos are the same woman. This is lame. Banned from One Show for 5 years, lol.

Bad English. Is that easy to ruin a good idea.

It’s not amusing. You guys must be crazy desperados to try something like that. As long as nothing goes wrong you’d feel great about the coup you pulled but that’s quite a thin line, mate. Someone said that it’s good for Romania but that’s doubtful. This is not good anywhere.

Do you think they actually ran with the pickpocket campaign as suggested… or are using the above story to promote the product?
